Do you realize who the QB is for the Jets, do you think he would ever go along with that?

If someone told me he threw the game so Mike Holmgren could get his last win at home I wouldn't doubt it the way he played Sunday.

I wouldn't really believe it I just say that out of the frustration of watching him play this season. Also frustration that he still recieves no blame for his performance.

Even if the Pats win at 1pm the Jets can still reach the playoffs as a wildcard provided they beat Miami and Baltimore loses to Jacksonville. A Pats win just means they can't win the division.

Remember the Jets and Ravens both kickoff at 4.15pm so the Jets will have every incentive to win and hope the Jags do them a favour. If the Patriots beat Buffalo they will be cheering for the Jets as they'll clinch the division with a Jets win.

* If the Pats, Jets and Ravens all win - Pats win the AFC East and the Ravens qualify as the wildcard. In fact a Baltimore win means only the AFC East winner qualifies for the playoffs.

* If the Pats and Jets win and the Ravens lose then the Jets would finish 2nd in the AFC East as they swept Miami. The Jets would then clinch the wildcard over Baltimore with a better conference record (8-4 v 7-5).

* If Miami beats the Jets they win the AFC East no matter what New England does. (see below to learn why Miami win the tie-breaker over New England). New England would have to finish with a better record than Baltimore to clinch a wildcard as the Ravens have a better conference record.

* If the Jets beat Miami and New England and Baltimore both lose then all 4 teams are on 10-6. The Jets win the AFC East based on their 3-1 record over Miami and New England.

The Dolphins and Patriots would then have to be separated by the 3rd tie-breaker - their records against 'common opponents' - as they are tied on head-to-head and division record. Their common opponents are NY Jets, Buffalo, the AFC West and NFC West. Mia would be 2-2 vs the Jets/Bills, 4-0 vs the AFC West and 3-1 vs the NFC West. New England would be 2-2 vs the Jets/Bills, 3-1 vs the AFC West and 4-0 vs the NFC West. Both are on 9-3 so the next tie-breaker is conference record. Obviously New England would miss out here just looking at their record vs NFC West teams. The Pats loss to San Diego in Week 6 would be crucial as Miami swept that division.

Unfortunately for Miami they would miss out on a wild card anyway under such a scenario as Baltimore win the head-to-head by virtue of their 27-13 victory in Week 7.

Farve blew a play to give Strahan the sack record, so we know he's morally capable of doing it.

That doesn't matter as Mangini wouldn't tell players he was going to lose on purpose. He'd do such an horrendous job coaching that the team won't win. Just like Farve didn't need the o-line to give Strahan a sack at the end of the game.

Mangini wouldn't do it as the team could still make the playoffs, he wouldn't want his cast-off QB to beat the QB he traded for. If he did he wouldn't need to involve anyone.
